The Mom Prom

... what Paul's coworkers lovingly call the event we attended last weekend. 

Their firm represents a hospital in Milledgeville, GA that holds an annual charity ball each fall. There were limited tickets to the dinner this year, and most of the firm was happy they didn't have to go. They were thrilled to send us rookies in their place instead. 

If you don't know Milledgeville, it was the capital of Georgia before and during the Civil War, and I imagine it's not too different today than it was then. It still boasts it's antebellum history and that confederate flag! The Oconee Regional Healthcare Foundation Ball, ... or The Mom Prom ... is the time of year when women the age of my mother, put on their best high school prom dresses and come out for an evening of fun. I'm sure I was entirely underdressed wearing a cocktail dress instead of a floor-length, sequined, rhine-stoned number. But we had a GREAT night of people watching, and absolutely a ton of fun with Paul's coworkers. 

The best part about the weekend was our fabulous Bed and Breakfast. The Antebellum Inn, built in 1890 ...

and our visit to see Uncle Remus and Brer Rabbit in Eatonton on the way home. 

Can't wait for Mom Prom 2009!
